εἰ δὲ συνεχώρει μὲν τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτούς, βούλεται δὲ τὰ ὑπ' αὐτῶν γενόμενα τουτέστιν ἀνθρώπους καὶ ψυχάς) πάλιν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἀναλαμβάνειν παρὰ τὴν τούτων βούλησιν, ἅρα ἔσται πλεονεξία ἐν μέσῳ καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον, ἅρπαζομένων τῶν τῶν τῶν ἀγγέλων * ἀνθρώπων ὑπὸ τοῦ ᾶνωθεν παρὰ τὴν τούτων βούλησιν· ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀδράνεια εἴη, ἐπειδὴ μὴ αὐτὸς δυνάμενος ἑαυτῷ ποιεῖν ἁρπάζει τὰ ὑπὸ τῶν ὑπ' αὐτοῦ γενομένων γενόμενα.
